Activities

(5 January 2025) Events are being finalized. A few from our preliminary schedule are shown below!

Drive a Metro Train

The LA Metro serves a quarter of all Californians in the country’s largest, most populous county. We know it by its trains that regularly pass by AV campus. Metro staff will join us at AV and show you how to drive a (simulated) Metro train!

From Cells to Chromosomes

How did you get your eye color? Why do you like your favorite foods? The answer is in your cells and chromosomes. USC Prof. Unmesh Jadhav will lead an event showing cells, how they work, and their connection to genetics.
